Chris Clemons one of the best safeties, accoriding to PFF

Top of the Crop
While there’s a ringing endorsement coming up for some of the guys we felt should have been First team All-Pro, it was the Dolphins Chris Clemons who actually had the lowest percentage of plays into his coverage converted. His 0.96% was impressive and bodes well for his chances of getting paid in free agency.
It was so good that Eric Weddle could finish only second, while the Steelers’ Ryan Clark proved how reliable he is with a score of 1.21% in third. The interesting thing, especially for viewers of the AFC East, is that they play home to two duos both in the Top 10. There’s a tendency for these stats to favor those guys who play as deep safeties, but Reshad Jones in sixth spot, and George Wilson in 10th (with Jairus Byrd in fifth) show that if you’re good enough you’ll make the list.

Chris Clemons may not make a bunch of plays but he doesn't give them up. I always thought he was solid. Not sure why some people don't like him.

Because some people don't realize every safety isn't Ed reed. Clemons and jones are two players that have gotten better every year in the NFL and now have become one of the top duos in the NFL resign both to long term deals instead of creating unnecessary holes

So was it just our nickel-backs and CBs getting burned so bad? I'd still take Earl Thomas > Chris Clemons everyday and 3x on Sunday. Someone was getting shredded by TEs this year. I know we need at least one more good coverage LB. Our LBs are SO easy to pass against to the TE.
